Although I missed out on my Leopard and Buff hunt in Zim due to work commitments, I am lucky enough to be spending a few days hunting Buffalo this area in a couple weeks time.
I hope I don't run into a sod like this one or I might get into trouble..

The sentance for shooting one of these without quota may be worth it.
